OK, fine. To be more specific, this list should cover almost all of the cases of what is considered to be spam on BHW:
- Short summaries of articles linking to third party sites.
- Short posts with links to your own site.
- Short "thank you" posts (you can use the 'thanks' button for that).
- Irrelevant or off topic replies.
- Duplicate content copied from elsewhere.
- Multiple similar posts and comments (such as “sounds interesting” or “good luck”).
- Multiple similar comments and/or short replies to promote your signature.
- Multiple threads started on the same topic.
- Necrobumping (posting on threads that are obviously out of date and irrelevant).
- Anything along the lines of “PM me for details”.
- Constantly making posts on sales threads asking for samples or review copies.
- Posts in 'Dispute Resolution' threads that aren’t directly related to the situation and don't provide any new information.
- Constantly posting short "welcome" messages in the Introductions section.
- Posts in 'My Journey Discussions' threads along the lines of "Great Journey", "Following", and "Good Luck".
- Posts in "Downloads" threads along the lines of "Thanks for the share".
- Posts that aren't written in English.
